greement-on the bill repeating the

trt land laws.
Mr.. Stone mo said that the rapid
sugm 4ntGtion of the population of
the country, the rapid decrease of the
area of the public lands and the

Jog for the repeal OF the pre-eDption,
timber culture and desert land laws.
A long debate ensued and the report
of the conferees on the bill was &C.
copied by vote of 96 to 38.
Mr.. Cobb then moved that the
House refuse to recede from it's dis
agreement to the S nate amendments,
and sgree to the request for a fnrth 1
conference.

JUDGE BUsasg AND gPREsIDENT
HADDEN

Conflict OF authority between eff
GERS OF the State lie always to be
avoided when possible, and Is to bs
regretted when forced. Such events
have the effect Of bringing authority
into contempt and impariug the in
huence OF the officials involved. A
case in point was furnished yetter.
day by Judge DnBose, Of the Criminal
Court, whose administration Of the law
has so far won for him the approval Of
the bar and plsudits OF the public.
He assumed a power and suthC ri y
that is nowhere in law conferred upon
him and lectured the President OF the
Taxing District in open court, with a
severity out OF all proportion to the
cause (even admitting it 10 be JUS

cedure-the punishment by Mr..
Hadden OF two deputy sheriffs

ing, 10 the presence, too, Of many OF
the very class that stands in dread
OF his strict enforcement Of tie ordi.
nanCes OF the Taxing District. The
whole affair is to be deplored and re-.
GREETED. II Mr., Hadden exceeds his
authority or fails in his duty, there Ia
a way to reach him bylegal process,
Section II Of the Taxing District act
provides for it and makes it the duty
OF the Attorney General OF the dttrict
to enforce all remedies c'villy and
crimiDally against delinquent officials
OF the District, who are in all respects
officers and agents Of the State. As to
the pres flutes and gamblers they
ply their trade in Memphis 1t is with
the connivance and consent Of the
Criminal Court since no steps have yet
been taken by 1t to suppress either. So
far as President Hadden's duty toward
these unfortunate classes lies, he ia
expressly authorized to regulate"
them. That word Is used in the Tax.
ing District law, and II IL word that
covers the common sense OF evils that
have never been and never can be
suppressed. Judge DuBoae was in the
wrongl in this matter, as is plainly
evidenced by The clear and iorceiul
explanation Of the law given by Judge
Sam P, Walker, whoss name lends ad-
ditioDal weight to the brief argument
he 50 cogeutly and comprehensively
presents In another column. May we
not look for prompt restoration Of
the entente cordial b,tween the Judgs
and the Pfesident2 And let Us hope
the un o'tunate episode will pass as
quickly from the public mind as 1t
came.
